Yoshiyuki Yoshida def Jon Koppenhaver Submission (Anaconda Choke) 0:56 rnd 1My Pick: Yoshida by RNC second roundIt wasn't a RNC and it didn't come in the second round, but it was a choke ending none the less. Yoshida looked very good locking on the textbook Anaconda and choking Jon completely out. Not very surprising, but impressive none the less.

Rameau Sokoudjou def Kazuhiro Nakamura TKO (Leg Injury) 5:00 rnd 1My Pick: Sokoudjou by KO first roundPerfection!!Sokoudjou landed a big punch at the very end of the first that collapsed Nakamura. The fall injured his right leg somewhere. He was unable to continue.

Rousimar Palhares def Ivan Salaverry Submission (Armbar) 2:36 rnd 1My Pick: Ivan by KO second roundHonestly, I wanted Ivan to win this fight. I thought that he might be able to stay away from the takedown and do some damage. It was not to be. Rousimar shot in and hit an awesome single leg. He took Ivan's back, and after a short struggle there transitioned in to one of the best, deepest, and fastest armbars from the back I have ever seen. Palhares is a force at Middleweight.

Thiago Silva def Antonio Mendes Submission (Punches) 2:24 rnd 1My Pick: Silva KO from the mount first round.Perfection yet again!!Silva is the real deal, and I can not wait until he fights some real competition there. Maybe a Silva vs Silva soon??

Lyoto Machida def Tito Ortiz DecisionMy Pick: Tito by decision.Tito had absolutely no answer to Machida's style. Despite locking on what looked to be a tight triangle choke right at the end of the fight, Tito did nothing to win. Machida retires Tito, in a fight that put everyone to sleep.

Goran Reljic def Wilson Gouveia TKO (Punches) 3:15 rnd 2My Pick: Wilson by KO first roundWilson nearly had it at the beginning of the second, but Goran showed real heart in recovering then landing good punches to get the knockdown, then good finishing instinct to put Wilson out.

Wanderlei Silva def Keith Jardine KO (Punches) 0:36 rnd 1My Pick: Jardine retires Silva with a decisionOh man was I wrong. The Silva of old was back in force!! After getting briefly rocked by a looping Jardine right hand, Silva dropped some of his famous hooks on to Jardine to put him completely asleep... Stiff as a board asleep.
